Description
History The Porsche 924 made its debut in 1976. Designed by Dutch designer Haam Lagaay, a member of the Porsche design team, this 2+2 coupé was conceived to be practical and agile. Equipped with transaxle rear-wheel drive and a Volkswagen-derived 2. 0-litre engine, its power may have seemed modest by Porsche standards, but it proved to be the perfect entry-level car for the German manufacturer at a time of great need. Right from the start, the 924 was a great success, with over 25, 000 units sold already in its second year of production. The car was quickly developed: first with a five-speed manual gearbox, followed by a three-speed automatic option. In 1979 came the real evolution with the 924 Turbo. With the adoption of a KKK turbocharger and a modified cylinder head, combined with a revised 2. 0-litre crankcase, output reached 170 hp, approaching that of the much more expensive 911 SC. This version represented a major step forward in the range, laying the foundations for the development of the later 924 Carrera GT, a model homologated for competition and produced in only 250 units.
Our Car: The example offered here is a 1982 Porsche 924 Turbo with 121, 000 kilometres, finished in elegant Sienna Red Metallic with a black fabric interior. A car with a beautiful colour combination, kept in its original state, with very few signs of time, both in the interior and the bodywork. This is an Italian car, which has had only three owners and has always been properly maintained, as evidenced by the complete maintenance booklets with coupons at official Porsche centres. It has always been serviced regularly and is in excellent mechanical condition. Very fun to drive thanks to its power and low weight, this 924 Turbo represents an excellent opportunity for those looking for a young car with a sporty soul and fascinating history.
